  Can gender stereotypes in childhood be more destructive than our culture perceives and stand in the way of gender equality? 
   
   
   
  When Jodi Bondi Norgaard, an experienced entrepreneur, attempted to shake-up the toy industry with a sports doll that appeals to today's more athletic, adventurous girls, she came to realize the roadblocks to success weren't only reluctant toy buyers, but a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender roles and sexism. More Than a Doll is about her mission to break gender stereotypes and challenge the status quo. 
   
   
   
  Through illuminating testimonials, data, research, interviews, and cultural observations, listeners will come away with clear examples of the dangers of early gender stereotyping and how we continue to fail to see the harm. 
   
   
   
  After all: "It's just a toy." "It's just a t-shirt." "It's just a show." 
   
   
   
  Bondi Norgaard is sounding the siren that gender inequality doesn't begin in our teens, it begins the moment a child can hold a toy or book or watch a screen. The programing starts early, and the impact is lifelong.

  Feel It All - A Therapist’s...

  A groundbreaking guide to sexuality that dispels the stale cultural attitudes about sex that leave too many feeling inadequate, and offers an expansive, attachment-based framework to free us and develop bolder, more satisfying relationships with our sexual selves. 
  When it comes to sex, most people feel insecure. But it’s not because we’re deficient; it’s because we’ve been under-resourced and miseducated.       
  Certified sex therapist Casey Tanner argues that our sex lives are a microcosm of every untruth we’ve internalized about gender, sex, relationships, our bodies, and ourselves. Most of us were taught that healthy sexuality is only for a certain kind of person, in a certain kind of relationship, with a certain kind of body. As a result, the way we’ve learned how to define “good sex” is reflective of how good, worthy, and loveable we see ourselves. 
  Feel It All is a comprehensive guide to help everyone uncover their personal misconceptions about sexuality and relationships. Tanner helps you recognize and assess your core beliefs surrounding relationships, sexuality, gender, and more; identify past trauma; find pathways to healing that work for you; and redefine sex based on knowledge and possibilities, rather than potential consequences. 
  Comprehensive yet accessible, informative, warm, and nonjudgmental, Feel It All provides a pathway for personal healing, creating stronger relationships, and achieving deeper intimacy. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  We were at our wit's end and couldn't figure out why my son was having problems with seemingly everything. Was it environmental, hereditary, induced by something else or all of these factors combined? He was falling through the cracks at school, the 20% they write off. The answer came to us when he was 14, at the end of 8th grade, in a documentary on TV. The problem was finally solved, BUT was it too late to help him?

  Confederate Secret Service The:...

  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take four years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
  	The Confederate government’s evacuation plans had been established well before Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had to evacuate Petersburg and let Richmond fall. General Lee had warned the government as early as January that his lines around Petersburg might break at any given point, and many members of the Confederate Congress had left a few weeks earlier after they had adjourned on March 18. Some cabinet members had already made their own arrangements, with the bulk of their important records having been sent out of town, and after the emergency meeting, the Confederate president and cabinet adjourned to get to the work of packing vital papers and putting them on a train heading out of town. Meanwhile, documents that were considered of less importance were piled up and set alight.  
  	As it turned out, Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin had already personally burned the records of the Confederate Secret Service, ensuring that there would be enduring mysteries about Confederate intelligence operations throughout the war, and particularly whether John Wilkes Booth’s conspiracy against the federal government had official support. For almost a century following the war, very little was known about any of this, and historians who knew the Confederate Secret Service had existed could not reconstruct what it had done.

  Spin Doctors - How Media and...

  As Canada was in the grips of the worst pandemic in a century, Canadian media struggled to tell the story. Newsrooms, already run on threadbare budgets, struggled to make broader connections that could allow their audience to better understand what was really happening, and why. Politicians and public health officials were mostly given the benefit of the doubt that what they said was true and that they acted in good faith.
  		 
  This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.
